40 Days Of Prayer For Revival

VANCOUVER CHINESE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH March 2018

INTRODUCTION

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray

and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from

heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. ~ 2 Chron. 7: 14

Many Christians desire for spiritual revival, but they are not prepared to

commit themselves to be changed by the Holy Spirit. It is almost like being

a Christian without Christ!

Christians are not called to believe a set of static dogmas; but to restore the broken relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Prayers, reading the Word and fellowship with the Spirit are the means to develop intimacy with God. In particular, prayer is a place of abiding in Christ as Jesus said, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15: 5). Prayer is talking to God in which it is never intended to be duty-based or simply results-oriented. Instead, prayer is the place of encounter with God.

Through prayer, we develop an intimate relationship with God. When we pray, not only do we speak to God; more importantly, we learn to listen to the voice of God. In prayer, we get to know God personally in His character and attributes. Someone once said, “God is only a prayer away!” Let’s draw near to God who delights us who make efforts to get close to Him, like a parent who yearns for a closed bonding with his or her child.

This 40 Days of Prayer for Revival booklet is a beginning to develop our prayer habit. In order to have a lasting impact, choose a set time daily and a location where you will not be disturbed, read the Scriptural passages (NKJV, unless it will be specified) and pray through the suggested items. Jot down the new knowledge learnt and new insight experienced. Share them with a friend. This booklet is intended to be used on your own, with a prayer partner, in small group or family devotion.

Some of the materials in this booklet are adopted from the 40/40 Prayer Vigil published by the North American Mission Board.

John 4: 13-14 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst.
